I dunno, I started smash before videos were really popular...

I remember watching GO vids and Teh Punch Crew... that was kind of inspiring...

I guess my biggest inspiration was Noucles and Lambchops, cause those are the guys who trained me.

Probably my biggest inspiration after that was Green Mario, even though I was the one that got him into smash, he just got so good so quick, and challenged me all the way to become a better player.

But as for peach... I mean, that nigg@ mike gizzle gave me inspiration to play Peach they way she should be played, but I actually never watched alot of peach videos period. I saw Comp do some really quick FC aerials with peach at my house before a tournament and thought to myself "****, that has alot of potential." And I just went from there.

I forgot to mention FlowinWater, not so much of an inspiration, but he was the first person I ever played in tournament ever, and I lost badly, and I spent the next 2 years trying to beat him.

Which I finally did.

In winners and Losers.

No, it's clearly the Smash series in general.

I still looked up to Azen for a while when Brawl first came out. I'm really glad he's playing it over Melee; it's a good sign.

As for N64, the only person I knew around here that played well is Moogle, so I suppose that's something.

Honestly, PC Chris.

The first set I ever saw was Winner Semi's of MLG New York '06 Season opener, Ken vs. PC: PC won 3-2
Then I saw the Grand Finals set where PC beat Ken again.

PC totally inspired me to play competitively, since he beat the "#1 Reigning Champ" according to that Wife guy that was talking.

Nites falco, then Bombsoldier combo vid right after that :3.
I saw shined blind, and thought it was ok.... didn't really make me go OH ****, cause i never even tried using fox for the most part. I do look up to Azen too as well :)

On other news, telling people that they still plays an 8 year old game does warrant as an insult. Sorry Melee kids, that's the truth. huh? really **** you brawl crawl=D

Super Turbo, MVC2, 3s etc etc are older than melee and tons of peeps still play those.

The first player i've ever played in a tournament(lol vgames).
The coolest smasher i've ever met.
The dude who was nice to me from the beginning(Even though I was at one point the most hated smasher in the community).
I loved watching him play. He taught me a lot about the game and he was just super funny and cool to be around.

Man I dunno

There were a lot of great players who I wanted to be as good as, but I never had a main until recently and I didn't play competitively, so I never had one person I looked up to really

Now that I'm a doc though, I still love Bob$, even if he doesn't really play anymore (I don't think). Other great/promising docs are Shroomed, 18spikes, etc. Basically the entire doc board. <3 you guise.

And of course Dogy, the mean green text machine, blackest ever, self-commentator of the decade, etc who gives me endless advice on aim
